Hello everyone!

Today I am bringing to you a festive holiday treat that is super fun to put together and even more yummy to eat! The idea for this recipe came to my mind when I was going to make my famous brownie recipe and thought why not make it festive and turn them into little Christmas trees. All you need it some frosting and treats to decorate your brownies with and your all set. I have so much more holiday baking content coming your way so make sure to follow my blog so you don’t miss out on all the fun. Lets get baking!

Happy Holidays!

DIRECTIONS

FOR THE BROWNIES

1. Preheat oven to 350 degreed F. Line your 9×9 pan with parchment paper.
2. In your blender mix your melted butter and sugar until smooth. About 30 seconds.
3. Add in eggs and vanilla. Mix for 1 minute.
4. Melt your chocolate chips then mix them into your blended mixture until smooth.
5. Add in your flour, cocoa powder and salt until just combined.
6. Stir in your whole chocolate chips then mix them into your blended mixture until fully combined.
7. Pour the mixture into your plan and smooth out with a spatula.
8. Add in your peanut better and use a knife or fork to incorporate into your brownie mixture (giving it almost a marbleized affect) until its spread out evenly.
9. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes and let it cool for an additional 30 minutes before starting to make your Christmas Trees.

FOR THE TOPPING

1. Once cooled take your brownies out of the pan and begin cutting out your Christmas Tree shapes with a shaped cookie cutter.
2. Get your candy canes and cut a portion of it and insert it into the brownie to act as the stem of the tree.
3. Use your frosting to place your toppings onto your trees. I used Christmas M&Ms and crushed candy canes on mine!
4. Once all decorated you have a yummy treat to enjoy!
